Nalan Peiyi broke out in a cold sweat when she heard Beiming Ye's questioning tone. She secretly blamed herself for not spouting nonsense just now. If Nalan Jingjing hadn't rushed out, she wouldn't be in such an awkward situation. Nalan Peiyi glared fiercely at Nalan Jingjing, who was kneeling beside her. When she saw the blood under Nalan Jingjing's slender and fair fingers, Nalan Peiyi's anger dissipated by half.
"Your Highness, I'm just afraid that Youyou's current appearance will offend Your Highness.”Nalan Peiyi quickly thought of an excuse to barely pass the test, but she was also worried. She didn't know if this excuse could fool the Second Prince.
Beiming Ye didn't have the mood to pursue the matter anymore." Alright, Master Nalan, you don't have to show me these fake things. I only want to see Youyou. I don't care about anything else. Hurry up."”
Seeing that Beiming Ye didn't pursue her crime, Nalan Peiyi let out a long sigh of relief. She unconsciously wiped her face with her sleeves and quickly stood up to lead Beiming Ye to Nalan Youyou's room.
"Someone from the old master's palace said that they are looking for His Highness the Second Prince.”Nalan Peiyi had just led the Second Prince to the backyard when she heard a servant boy's rude shout. Nalan Peiyi was about to scold the servant boy when he heard the servant boy's words, but he quieted down and heaved a long sigh of relief. When he left, he gave Nalan Jingjing a look. Nalan Jingjing actually saw through his thoughts and rushed to the backyard to release Nalan Youyou. But now, it was the best sign. If the Second Prince was called into the palace, it meant that the Second Prince would not be able to see Nalan Youyou today. As long as he did not see her today, it would be much easier for him to come tomorrow.
Beiming Ye looked at Nalan Peiyi in surprise. This was too much of a coincidence. However, Beiming Ye thought about it and realized that other than Nalan Peiyi and Nalan Youyou, no one else in the Nalan Residence could enter the palace to meet the emperor, let alone let someone from the palace call him into the palace in the middle of the night.
No one else seemed to be able to help Nalan Youyou. It was even more impossible for Beiming Yu to not know that he had come out today.
This could only mean that the emperor was really looking for him.
"Sir Nalan, this highness will probably not be able to see Youyou today. However, I will come again tomorrow. I hope to see her in her entirety tomorrow.”Beiming Ye coldly looked at Nalan Peiyi. Nalan Peiyi had never had a backbone, and now that Beiming Ye was clearly trying to knock her down, she quickly lowered her head and agreed.
Seeing Nalan Peiyi's lack of backbone, Beiming Ye coldly snorted and turned to leave. If Nalan Peiyi didn't have such an important military position, Beiming Ye wouldn't have interacted with her. As for Nalan Youyou…
This woman was really interesting. If he could conquer this woman, Beiming Ye would still feel a sense of glory. Moreover, Nalan Youyou had already undergone some slight changes in his heart.
Nalan Jingjing ran to the dark room and stared at the dark room with a cold smile on her face. She pinched herself hard and knocked on the door of the dark room. She cried in pain," Big Sister, Big Sister, how are you? Big Sister, don't worry. The Second Prince is here to see you. Big Sister, answer me." Quickly open the door and let me in!"
Seeing that there was no movement in the room, Nalan Jingjing was shocked. Could it be that Nalan Youyou was locked up inside and fell sick? By the way, this morning, he heard that Nalan Youyou's servant girl, Yuejun, had been punished by the Second Mistress. It seemed that the reason was that Yuejun had caused a ruckus and disturbed the Second Mistress. With Yuejun's personality, she would never make a ruckus. If she did, it would most likely be because of Nalan Youyou.
Thinking of this, Nalan Jingjing quickly got someone to open the door. It would not be good if Nalan Youyou died here. She would be more grateful to Beiming Ye if she was half dead. It was worth it to call Beiming Ye over today.
The servant saw that Nalan Jingjing wanted to open the door but immediately opened it." Second Miss, this…This is not something we dare to open without Old Madam's orders.”That person did not know why Nalan Jingjing would suddenly come here and ask to open the door. She had not come over for the past few days, so why did she suddenly come over today? However, without the old madam's order, they did not dare to open the door rashly.
"It was Old Master who asked me to come over and invite Young Miss out. What else do you have to say! Hurry up and get out of the way! If you delay the Second Prince from seeing Eldest Sister, then you don't need to use this head!”Nalan Jingjing deliberately emphasized the words " Second Prince " so that everyone in the room would know that she was able to come out today because of the Second Prince.
There was still no sound from inside. Nalan Jingjing thought that Nalan Youyou was probably sick. She urged the servant to open the door quickly. When the servant heard that it was not only the master's name but also the Second Prince's, everyone in the Nalan Residence knew that the Second Prince had arrived. Moreover, the Second Prince had come to the Nalan Residence to propose marriage but was rejected. It did not seem strange for him to come to see Nalan Youyou now.
The servant hurriedly opened the door and let Nalan Jingjing in.
Nalan Jingjing had just taken two steps inside when she realized that the room was pitch-black and she could not see anything. Moreover, the room was so cold that there was not the slightest temperature. Nalan Jingjing was quite surprised when she thought of this. If she was locked up here without food or water, she would definitely starve to death here.
"Big Sister, Big Sister, where are you?”Nalan Jingjing carefully looked around in the dark room but did not dare to walk forward. It was too dark inside, and Nalan Jingjing was still a little afraid.
"Big sister, are you there? If you're here, say something. Don't scare Jingjing.”At this point, Nalan Jingjing was so scared that she started crying. If Nalan Youyou died here, she would not be able to get away with it.
At this moment, Nalan Jingjing was still thinking about herself.
"What's wrong with Second Younger Sister? Why are you so scared?"
"Ah! Ghost!" Suddenly, a low and hoarse chuckle came from behind Nalan Jingjing, scaring her into screaming and turning around to run towards the door. Unexpectedly, her hand was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand. Nalan Jingjing was so frightened that her face turned pale and she struggled free. However, the more she tried, the more useless it was.
"What's wrong with Second Younger Sister? You came here to look for me, but you saw me shouting for a ghost. Eldest Sister is not brave. Second Sister, don't scare me.”A pale and weak person walked out from the shadows of the dark room. He looked at Nalan Jingjing with a tired face and laughed softly.
When Nalan Jingjing heard this, she realized that it was Nalan Youyou's voice. She carefully looked at Nalan Youyou through the gaps between her fingers and saw Nalan Youyou standing in front of her with a weak smile.
Nalan Jingjing looked at her hand in surprise. She gently shook her hand and found that the hand that was tightly holding onto her like a rock just now had actually been gently shaken off. Nalan Youyou's body kept swaying when she struggled free, and she almost fell down.
"Second Younger Sister, what are you doing? I didn't seem to do anything to you, so why are you pushing me?”Nalan Youyou looked at Nalan Jingjing aggrievedly. Her eyes seemed to have endless heartache and helplessness.
" Big... Sister..." Nalan Jingjing was stunned and thought that she might have been too anxious just now. Now, looking at Nalan Youyou, she did not have that much strength at all. "Ah! It really was Big Sister! Why did you ignore me when I called you just now?”
Nalan Jingjing first looked at Nalan Youyou in surprise and then looked at Nalan Youyou with a face full of complaints." Eldest Sister, the Second Prince is here. You should hurry up and meet him."”
"Didn't you hear what I said just now? I've called you so many times. Listen to me, my voice is hoarse because I called you just now.”Nalan Youyou looked at Nalan Jingjing. If Nalan Jingjing's expression was aggrieved, then Nalan Youyou was even more aggrieved. Now, she was locked in a dark room. Moreover, she had been sick during this period of time, so naturally, her voice had changed slightly. Earlier, she had indeed deliberately ignored Nalan Jingjing. Now that Nalan Jingjing had been frightened, she actually felt a little happy.
The Second Prince's arrival made Nalan Youyou take a few more glances at Nalan Jingjing. Other than Yueyan, the only people who knew that she was locked in the dark room were the people in the Nalan residence. How did Beiming Ye know? Logically speaking, Beiming Ye shouldn't have sent any spies in the Nalan residence. If there were no spies, it could only mean one thing, and that was that Beiming Ye was invited by Nalan Jingjing.
The purpose was to make her feel grateful to Beiming Ye so that she could agree to marry him with peace of mind. Nalan Youyou sneered in her heart. Her face did not change at all as she looked at Nalan Jingjing with a little grievance.
"I wonder why Second Prince is here?”
"Of course I'm here to see big sister. I don't know where the second prince heard that big sister was locked up, so he hurriedly rushed out of his residence.”Nalan Jingjing looked at Nalan Youyou enviously. Nalan Youyou turned a blind eye to this.
"Oh, the Second Prince is here? Why did he suddenly come to my Nalan Manor?”Nalan Youyou pretended to be surprised as she looked at Nalan Jingjing. When the Moon Nightmare sent her back, she had already seen the Second Prince's carriage.
Nalan Youyou was not surprised at all when she heard Nalan Jingjing's words. It would be more surprising if Beiming Ye did not come.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:05AM
